ROBERT JONES, OF KENTUCKY. 



April 17, 1858. 



Mr. Jewett, from the Committee on Invalid Pensions, made the 

following 

REPORT. 

TliG Committee on Invalid Pensions, to whom ivere referred the petition 
and papers of Robtrt Jones, of Kentucky, report : 

That they have examined the same, and find that his claim to a 
pension is founded on the fact that he was a private in Captain War- 
ner Elmore's company, 9th regiment, Kentucky mounted volunteers, 
commanded by Colonel Simrall, during the war of 1812 ; that he en- 
listed in August, 1813, for three months ; that whilst in the line of 
his duty as a soldier he was compelled to wade Lake Erie, which 
was covered with ice; that owing to said exposure he contracted a 
disease from which he now suflers, and which renders him unable to 
obtain a living. The petitioner was discharged at Maysville, Ken- 
tucky, on the 13th November, 1813. The point where he was dis- 
charged is nearly three hundred miles from the place where it is 
alleged he waded the lake. There is no evidence submitted to show 
that Lake Erie is frozen so early in the year as the first part of No- 
vember. The Third Auditor of the Treasury, who has the custody 
of the muster rolls upon which appears the name of the applicant, 
says that they ^^ furnish us no evidence of disability incurred lohilst in 
the service." 

The committee are unanimous in the opinion that the prayer of 
the petitioner should be rejected.
